    When Bari gets that turnaround shot going ala KD he'll be a handful. I believe he has the ability now but no confidence once he misses. You can't teach confidence and you can't really fake it. You just have it.

    Agree on everything you said, and agree that Amen is probably the best bet to be "the one". His talent is just insane.

    One more game tomorrow! I have faith that our guys will keep their foot on the gas and give Portland the business again.

    Yup, I think this will be one of his go to moves down the road. It looks super smooth most of the time, he will start drilling them if he can get out of his head.

    I also really liked how he drove to the hoop on that one play (when they didn't call a foul but he was clearly fouled). I think he's improving slowly.

    Amen and Reed tied for game high in STOCKS with 5 each. The future of this defense is super bright

    Plus minus in one game means nothing.

    I'm just so thrilled to see our team play real defense. It just chokes me up, seriously. I want to cry with happiness.
    (I know it's just Portland, but the team is really putting some effort and smarts on the defensive end, game in and game out. This was so elusive for so long.)

    I hope the Vipers coach will enforce discipline, and make the players play more like Udoka wants them to do.

    sure, but games in blowouts u would expect smith to b positive and contributing to the game. Man has the tendency to disappear quite often. can't really complain we blew them out though

    Are we leading the NBA cup in point differential so far? Wouldn't be surprised if we were

    as happened with @WestendMassive recently, I was forced into labor at work. I am glad the OG CFers carried us to victory.

    Robert Williams III would be the perfect pairing to put with Tari and Amen off our bench. Damn that Defense would be absolutely suffocating! Rockets need to make that happen.

    I hope so too but not likely. From what I’m seeing Udoka is a one of a kind coach. He deserves a ton of credit for turning this team around.
